ADV FILMS ANNOUNCES DVD RELEASE OF BUBBLEGUM CRISIS TOKYO 2040: LEVIATHANS & MARTIAN SUCCESSOR NADESICO: DANGER ZONES

HOUSTON - ADV Films is proud to announce the Volume 3 DVD releases of two of the greatest anime series to come out of Japan, Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, and Martian Successor Nadesico.

Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040: Leviathans DVD
A new horror envelops Tokyo in a web of fear as a mysterious entity runs amok, pulling its victims into the sewers and devouring them! Can even the combined forces of the Knight Sabers, Genom and the A.D. Police stop the monster before it chooses its next victim? Then, with Linna missing, and Sylia and Nene out of action, Priss finds herself facing her most deadly adversary yet, a gargantuan military boomer that she cannot possibly stop alone.

Martian Successor Nadesico: Danger Zones DVD
As the crew of most powerful ship in the fleet, the Nadesico team has to be ready to fight anywhere, anytime and at a moments notice. Missions to rescue a missing VIP and recover a fallen Chulip are only warm-ups for a deadly battle against an army of tanks and a new weapon that can envelop the Earth in a miniature black hole! But the worst is yet to come, because the ship's main computer is starting to develop a mind of it's own, and it's not quite sure which side of the battle it should be on!

The New Year will be rockin', as ADV Films continues these exclusive anime series on DVD. Each DVD will include the original Japanese version with English subtitles, plus the English-dubbed version of the films. Both the Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 and Martian Successor Nadesico series are available on VHS, through the ADV Films product catalog.
